I'm not sure a setting can get more metal than this one...

PFFFFT. Okay, well, Katatonia was a very recent development for me, and it saved my phone from being chucked against a wall today.

Oops. Just saw this. A bit too much growl-y voice for my tastes, but nice.

Ari:

Look. I understand you don't have a lot of time. I've been in college for six years, I know it can be devastating to leisure time. But if that's the case, if you're under *so* much pressure from classes that you can't even keep up with the OOC chat, it might not be best for you to be participating in a roleplay right now.

To be perfectly frank, I can't have us consistently waiting a week or more at a time to be able to move ahead, especially when everyone else manages to keep the story going at a reasonable pace. Galla's been waiting almost two months to even start playing and we're not even four pages into the game in that time. It's not fair to everyone who wants to roleplay to have to wait on one person over and over.

So, again, it's not your fault if your getting hammered with classes, but at the very least I need you to keep up with this thread and make efforts to post in the story. (And I have to ask, is making a post truly that time-intensive? I do mine in 5 to 10 minutes first thing in the morning before I even get out of bed.) If you can't do that... let us know you'll need leave for a while until things settle down, and we'll carry your character along until you have the time to participate.

Please.

Uh, don't I still need to go back to edit that other post first? o3o I thought I needed to do that first before posting again? I'm completely lost/confused now cause I was under the impression that I had to finish reediting that other one first? D:

Ari... we're not publishing this. We're well beyond that post; just adapt as we go along. I'd really like to move forward and not dwell on something a month old. Everything I said still stands, I just don't care about retroactive edits to old posts at this point. Please just focus on where we are now.

...o3o

OOOOOH. Well that is a lot less confusing now.

So uh...are posts gonna happen...soon-ish? -needs something sort-of productive to do in breaks from homework-

You're welcome to post, Espy. :P

Not sure what else to do at this moment. D:

Unless if y'all want me to spout random facts about diabetes. :P

Ari, to give a little bit of an OOC push, she'd sense more or less total insanity unlike anything she's ever encountered. It's distinctly not right, in the sense that it's blatantly violating the laws of physics/magic/whatever.

Didn't want to post without either Gall or Ari posting first XD

Espy, did you want to post once more before I push us forward? (not going to post till tomorrow sometime anyway)

Go for it. Brain will be too fried until Friday for me to post.

Posted. But I can't seem to get us inside.... :X

Am reading the thread, but I might be able to post Saturday, earliest. Forgot I have another assignment due tomorrow night, plus an event.

o....kay. I guess there's runes on the door, now. News to me, but it's hardly important I guess...

...the keyhole really would have worked though. :|

Ari, just in the future -- I have, like, pages of intricate plans for what's in here. If you're going to introduce something, please run it by me. I'm on skype all day.

Oh, okay. I'm sorry. T_T

Ari, if you don't want to edit (and you don't have to, like I said it's a minor detail) I at least need to know where you were going with the runes thing.

Also, by the way, in case a visual aid would help anyone:

Basically this, with a heavy set locked doors at the end. And a circle of dead zombie children with stabbed bride-of-Christ lady in the center. :|

Just as I imagined, sans busted pillars and crumbling ruins.

That's actually from (what used to be) Smyrna, which makes it doubly perfect. :P

Very droll, Salone. :P

Also, posted. Galla, if you want to go with something different for working him in, let me know and I'll edit.

So uh. Is Dante free to just yoink the knife out?

He's free to do whatever he wants to do, Espy. :P

I meant that as, "Would there be any consequences of Dante just grabbing it".

...I actually hadn't thought of any potential consequences yet, but thanks for the idea! :D

Well, I guess my post might be short if I don't know the consequences. To stay on the safe side, he'll probably only handle it with his left (gloved, has that circuitry that disrupts telepathic powers) hand. Not like it'd do much, but still.

That's fine, Espy.

*rolls on table of random cursed item properties*

Aye, apologies. I had to run to a wedding. Wedding was...awful. Will be better stuff on the next post.

-chokes on omelette-

So, I haven't finished reading Suze's post, but exploding brain matter somehow struck me as incredibly hilarious.

EDIT: Finished reading. Dante's standing there wiping his face off with a piece of cloth he swears he'll never again use as a blindfold while incredulously staring back and forth from the woman to the knife.

o3o
...
*goes off to read new posts*

I think we're about ready to move forward (finally) unless anyone wants to add something before we go.

-vigorously shakes head-
